Sean Connaughty, Friends of Lake Hiawatha, and MCAD ANTHROPOCENIC MIDDEN SURVEY LAKE HIAWATHA TRASH SURVEY 2019 INTRODUCTION The trash items represented in this survey were collected from the Friends of Lake Hiawatha Earth Day Cleanup, which occurred on April 20, 2019. A total of 104 volunteers cleaned for 2.5 hours, working the entire circumference of Lake Hiawatha. 350 lbs. of trash were removed from Lake Hiawatha. A minimum of 18,897 trash items were sorted and cataloged in the following survey. The 350 lbs. of trash was transported to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), where it was sorted and audited over several weeks by dozens of volunteers. Prior to the cleanup it was decided that the top four corporations identified in the trash from Lake Hiawatha would have their logos recreated and displayed with their own trash materials at the MCAD Sculpture Garden in June of 2019. This document accompanies the exhibition. TRASH CATEGORIES 18,897 items total 1. WRAPPERS AND PLASTIC FILM 3,743 items 2. BOTTLE CAPS 3,639 items 3. STYROFOAM 3,354 items 4.
